Was lucky enough to win FREE tickets to be in the audience for a Bravo! taping of At the Concert Hall Featuring Lady Antebellum.  We were in the 5th row – there were only 6 rows!  It was a small, intimate setting.  The band was relaxed and fun and the music was fantastic.  What a great evening.  Watch it on Bravo! on Tuesday, November 1 at 9PM ET.

Lots of good local food and great deals today on Charlotte Street.  Chips & Dip from Parkhill on Hunter was my favorite treat of the day!

I’ve talked to a lot of people this week who asked if I do Quickbooks training.  The answer is: YES!  My goal is to help your business succeed.  If success means learning how to use Quickbooks so you can do your own bookkeeping, then I want to help you learn.

Attended the Chamber of Commerce Prosperity Tradeshow yesterday.  I thought I would just spend half an hour or so walking through the Morrow Building but I was still there three hours later!  If you’ve never been, it’s a really great opportunity to get familiar with some local businesses.  I thoroughly enjoyed talking to business owners and managers.   We’ve got lots of great things happening in Peterborough!  Remember the Chamber slogan – Keep your town in business by keeping your business in town!

I was pleasantly surprised yesterday with the excellent service I received from Canada Revenue Agency.  I used their “Contact Us” feature on their website and it worked great.   I entered my phone number and someone called me a matter of minutes.  That allowed me to be productive for a few minutes rather than get irritated while waiting on hold.  What a great feature from our Government!

Attended my first Chamber Breakfast today.  It was interesting to hear the ‘elevator speech’ from several local businesses.  I distributed home made cranberry pistachio biscotti with my business card.  I hope every enjoys it!  Feel free to ask for the recipe – it was surprisingly easy to make.
